Here's a simplified version:
Small ship moves forward speed 1 = front of ship advances 2 lengths from previous spot.
Small ship moves forward speed 3 = front of ship advances 4 lengths from previous spot.
Large ship moves forward speed 1 = front of ship advances 3 small base lengths from previous spot.
Large ship moves forward speed 4 = front of ship advances 6 small base lengths from previous spot.
FFG had a way to nerf EU on large ships: Trandoshan Slaver and three Tacticians.
One zap and the target ship would be limping around the board for a long time...
Too bad the nerf got nerfed before it could do its nerfing.

Small ships:
1 straight = 10 kph
2 straight = 15 kph
3 straight = 20 kph
4 straight = 25 kph
5 straight = 30 kph
Boost = +10 kph
Max speed = 40 kph
Large ships:
1 straight = 15 kph
2 straight = 20 kph
3 straight = 25 kph
4 straight = 30 kph
Boost = +15 kph
Max speed = 45 kph
So looked at in that sense large ships have the "disadvantage" of not being able to move as slowly as small ships, but the total speed they can travel is greater. Not much of a disadvantage if you ask me, especially for PWT large ships.
Oh and if anyone was wondering what the actual amount of extra force a YT-1300 would need to provide to achieve the acceleration it gets with its boost move vs an X-wing of both have Engine upgrade here is the math.
YT-1300 mass: 5,000,000 kg
T-65 X-wing mass: 180,000 kg
YT-1300 accelerates at 150% speed compared to the X-wing while boosting.
YT-1300 mass is 27.778 times the mass X-wing
27.778 x 1.5 = 4,166.7%
(Relative Mass x Relative Acceleration = Percentage of relative force required to achieve relative acceleration)
While this game is of course based on fantasy and not real work physics, I just wanted to point out to the "bigger engine = greater speed end of story" crowd what the required additional force is.

Wait - so you're telling me that The Force isn't real?

Next, he'll be trying to tell us that Santa Claus doesn't exist either.

Cool stuff. I wonder how this compares to a Saturn V rocket, since it has the most power full rocket engines ever developed and weighted 2.8 million kg fully fueled.
